I wasn't aware that you hang onto all my posts waiting for my "in depth analysis." Well, from now on, I'll run to my computer and spew my thoughts because I know you're anxiously awaiting at your computer.
I've watched Barwin play, and I just don't see the strength and explosion needed to win against NFL tackles. He's a nice player, and should get some sacks at the next level, but he's not going to be anything better than we already have. That, to me, is a wasted pick.
However, I also watched him play TE. During the Senior Bowl practices, I'd say he had the best separation against the linebackers and safeties in the one-on-one coverage drills. He looked quicker than at DE, which caught me off guard. The only problem was his hands. He seems unsure of himself, but this can be taught. If he had a little more confidence catching the ball, I think he could be very good as a TE.
